Myth II : Soulblighter
                 ======================

         Linux version  - Patch 1.3d - Dynamic Version

This is the dynamically linked version of the Myth II game binary, as of
version 1.3d of the game. This binary is thus smaller than the other
static binary, and it depends on the presence of the following shared
libraries :

        libsmpeg-0.3.so.0
        libSDL-1.1.so.0
        libpthread.so.0
        libXext.so.6
        libesd.so.0
        libX11.so.6
        libdl.so.2
        libaudiofile.so.0

The purpose of this special release is to allow developers to use their
own custom versions of some of those libraries with the game.

GETTING ADDITIONAL SHARED LIBRARIES

Most of the required libraries are part of all standard Linux distributions
(those binaries were built on a Red Hat 6.1 system). However, you may need to
get those libraries separately at the following locations :

  - SDL 1.1 : http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/download-1.1.html
  - SMPEG 0.3 : http://www.lokigames.com/development/smpeg.php3

INSTALLING THIS PATCH

This patch applies against an installation of the full game ALREADY UPGRADED
TO THE STATIC 1.3d PATCH. You need to run the 'myth2-1.3d-x86-*.run' 
script first to upgrade your original installation, depending on your
architecture (x86 or PPC) and C library version (GNU libc 2.0 or 2.1).

Just run the script by typing the following from the command line 
(this is for an Intel box running Glibc 2.1) :

     sh myth2-dynamic-1.3d-x86-2.1.run

It will prompt you for the installation path of the game. If different
from the default (/usr/local/games/Heroes3), type the name of the
directory where you installed the game.
